Diadema Decorative Paint Effect


www.nikkolor.co.uk


Manufactured in Sicily by Colorificio Nikkolor s.r.l Luxury Decorative Paints, Diadema is an eco-friendly, water based decorative paint which is both solvent free and non-flammable. Their complete range of products are distributed in the UK by Nikkolor UK Ltd, helpful staff run the showroom located in Lincoln showcasing the beautiful products with brochures and boards. The Diadema comes pre-mixed in the colour of your choice with metallic flakes. Always give it a good stir before and during use to agitate the contents


in case it has settled whilst in transit. Diadema is quite thick so spread it out well by brushing in all directions, a little goes a long way. There are many designs and patterns that can be created and the finished result with the metallic paint is incredible. It looks amazing as the reflection of light catches the broken colour effect and all the different textures are revealed – a great alternative to plain painted surfaces. There are no quick short cuts to getting a good finish and good old fashioned preparation is still the only way. Two coats of Luxury Anchor Primer must


be applied to all surfaces, by brush and roller allowing four hours for each coat to fully dry. After this, mask up and protect surrounding surfaces. A flat Italian 100mm thin brush can be used to apply the Diadema. Simply dip the tips of the brush into the product, applying it almost like you do when


colour washing, in a criss cross manner, making sure you keep the wet edge going. Drying times can be anything from two hours or even as long as eight hours or even overnight. All equipment can be washed out in water. These finishes, once fully dry and cured are attractive, durable and suitable for use in bathrooms, so long as their protective sealer coating is applied.


Try for yourself!

Previous winners include:


Abranet Ace discs to have a longer working life and a ‘cutting edge’ that slices through the work piece more aggressively. Indepth product trials with both my


favourite Toupret and Dunlop Pro Décor fillers produced fantastic results. I also did some aggressive sanding on some old wooden panel doors and window sills with incredible results, it was faster to remove the old flaking paint, than mess around scraping and face filling. I also found the new, tougher, velour
